Wilson, a roster hopeful for the Panthers, told Harvey Fialkov of the South Florida Sun Sentinel what he expects his role to be in the NHL if he earns the job. "I think if I'm going to play in the NHL that's going to be my role, a third- or fourth-line guy who's reliable in my own end and who works hard and does the little things."

Wilson recorded three goals and two assists in 26 games with AHL San Antonio last season and will have to prove he can score down there before the Panthers let him make his NHL debut. Since he'll likely spend the full season in the AHL again in 2013-14, he doesn't hold much current fantasy value.

2012-13

Wilson tallied 36 points this past season splitting time between the AHL and ECHL. Wilson has begun to show some life offensively, but is currently projected to be a bottom-six forward when he makes the transition to the NHL level, limiting his offensive upside.
